🌿Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and the Potential of Neurofeedback Therapy:
Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are neurodegenerative conditions marked by progressive cognitive decline, memory loss, and changes in personality and behavior. These disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s, are primarily associated with the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles in the brain, which disrupt neural communication and lead to cell death. Dementia is a broader term encompassing several conditions that impair cognitive function, with Alzheimer’s being the most common cause. While no current treatment can fully reverse or halt the progression of these conditions, emerging therapeutic approaches like neurofeedback offer promising avenues for symptom management and improving quality of life.
Several small-scale studies and clinical reports have shown that neurofeedback may help improve working memory, attention span, mood, and even sleep quality in people with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage dementia. These improvements, although not curative, can significantly enhance day-to-day functioning and emotional well-being. Moreover, neurofeedback may help mitigate some of the behavioral symptoms of dementia, such as agitation, apathy, or depression, by training more balanced and resilient brainwave activity.
At Clear Mind Idaho, we do a combination of IASIS microcurrent neurofeedback, low level laser therapy and autonomic nervous system balancing!
IASIS microcurrent neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that untrains the brain from the faulty patterns where it may be stuck! This is the newer, technologically advanced style of neurofeedback! The older style, called “Operant Conditioning Neurofeedback, trains the brain! This takes much longer!
In addition, the low level laser therapies we do activate energy production in the primitive brain where the neurons are struggling to keep up with the energy demands.
In individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia, neurofeedback aims to enhance cognitive functioning by encouraging brainwave patterns linked to better mental clarity and stability. For example, increasing sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) and reducing theta or delta waves in specific brain regions has been correlated with improved attention and short-term memory. These networks and hubs start to reconnect when the primitive brain starts to operate within normal patterns!
While more large-scale clinical research is needed to fully validate its efficacy, neurofeedback stands out as a safe, personalized, and drug-free approach that may complement other therapeutic strategies for dementia. As part of a broader care plan including cognitive stimulation, physical activity, and nutrition, neurofeedback holds promise in helping patients maintain cognitive function and quality of life for as long as possible.
